Wickedly Clever

Part Seventeen – "Cora was dangerous because she didn't have a heart. Regina's even more dangerous because she does."

The Dark Jungle

Neverland

April 23rd, 2012

Peter watched Regina from the shadows.

Crossing his arms, he leaned against the bark of a tree.

He bided his time, until he could make his move.

He smirked maliciously.

–ooOoo–

Regina became more livid.

She spat furiously, "I'm not in the mood to play games, Pan."

They circled one another like predators circling their prey.

"You have no choice, your highness," he laughed darkly.

Aiming for his chest, she threw the fireball at him.

He blocked it effortlessly with his sword.

Peter gave Regina some credit. She was dangerous.

But she was in his domain. And he made the rules.


A/N – 02/01/2014: First, this was another nightmare of a chapter to write. It's like the words weren't coming to me. *sighs* Hopefully my muse will help me to keep on writing! And I'll try to update sooner, but I'm not going to make any promises!

Second, Peter's sword is magical and quite powerful. However, I haven't decided (yet) if 1.) he made it himself in Neverland (before he became dark) with the help of Tink, Queen Clarion, King Magnus, and the other fairies, or 2.) he imagined a powerful sword in his mind and it appeared as such.

And yeah, I did think of S02x09 Queen of Hearts and Mulan's sword as I was writing this drabble. I mean, if Mulan's sword is the most powerful sword in all the realms, then why can't Peter's sword be just as powerful as Mulan's? It's Neverland, after all. Thus, I believe that Peter's sword is just as - if not more than - powerful as Mulan's. :)

Well, as always and as usual, thanks to everyone for reading my fic. Love you all. Until next time! :)

P.S. Didn't know that it was Regina's birthday today until I went to check my Tumblr account. So, I guess it wasn't a coincidence that I posted this drabble on her b-day! :)
